Pens are the quintessential giveaway item—and when you choose to customize pens from a premium brand like uni-ball®, you’re showing customers that your business prioritizes quality and performance. Keep reading to learn more about the history of the uni-ball brand (and the manufacturing company behind it!), and browse some custom uni-ball pens that are ready for your personal touch.
Uni-ball is a brand of pen distributed by the Uni Mitsubishi Pencil Company Limited. Originally founded in 1887 as the “Masaki Pencil Manufacturing Company” in Tokyo, the company renamed itself “The Mitsubishi Pencil Company” after World War II. They released their first ballpoint pen in 1959, and later began creating performance pens. In 1979, they launched the first “Uniball” rollerball pen, which was the first ballpoint pen to use water-based ink and a metallic tip. This innovative pen quickly became popular in Europe and North America. Today, uni-ball pens are still produced in Japan.
Uni-ball pens are so special because they contain the brand’s patented Super Ink™. According to the uni-ball website, this ink is “an archival-quality pigment ink that offers extraordinary levels of water, chemical, and light resistance.” This uni-ball pen ink is also acid free, permanent, and long-lasting—so it protects against water and fading.
